    You just don't get it Eric.

    The NBA wants the series to go 7. We will lose the next game. We will maybe win both in Portland, or split. We'll lose in Houston, win in Portland, and then they'll let us play in game 7.

    There's a reason why they changed it to seven games instead of 5. The NBA wants that money and the only way they'll get it is if the series goes 7.

    Is the ref under the basket calling that a foul? I gave up on watching the game after the first few minutes because the reffing was so blatantly biased toward the Clippers.

    Everybody knows what is going to happen, and the NBA will love it because they need Houston to win the series.

    PapaG is right, LA and Dame will each collect two quick fouls in the first five minutes.

    Why does the NBA need Houston to win the series? The NBA has done all they could (5 All Star events) to make Dame into a superstar. He's got commercials now and a big shoe deal. What's so amazing about Houston that they must win the series or the league will collapse? People said the NBA wanted the Lakers to win in 2011 but the Mavs swept them and it wasn't close in the final game.

    If they don't, will you admit the league isn't crooked?

    And if the league protects its superstars in big markets, how come the refs took Blake Griffin out of Game 1 with foul trouble that only allowed him to play 19 minutes? The theory doesn't hold water.

    Exactly. Adidas probably has a ton of payola to the NBA right now. Lillard will need to be in more than seven games for Adi to get their money's worth.

    Game 1 was the "upset game" this year. Lots of drama. But I bet the NBA thinks of ratings for the whole series, so it sets up a must watch game two that was the revenge game.

    Just finished watching most of Clippers/GSW. Not going to say the game was rigged just that the refs were calling flops. GS should have started flopping all over the place as well the refs would have called it on the clippers instead they just let the Clippers flop everywhere. If the Refs are going to call all those flops vs us then I hope Dame/LMA start flopping all over the place as well.

    Absolutely. It's the Playoffs - it's all about getting the W. Screw the "integrity" of the game and start flopping if the refs are calling flops - at that point the refs have already screwed the integrity of the game.
